they have been very focused on al jazeera america. they're not hiding from the name al jazeera, but executives say we're doing an american network for american viewers. there's still the perception issue that they have to get over. a lot of people the first time they heard the name al jazeera was after 9/11 with the bin laden videos. during the iraq war, bush administration officials were always saying that al jazeera is playing propaganda for the enemy. so they have to get over that. a couple years ago there was a study that showed people looked at al jazeera english content branded as cnn international and didn't think it was as biased as when they had the al jazeera logo on it so they have to get over that obstacle. >> i think the bias question is a good one. for either one of you i wonder is there any example of al jazeera somewhere else in the world where they are producing this kind of unbiased news? i know many other places in the world they have been accused of bias. in fact in egypt they were just shut down by security forces

it says "good morning america" has extended its winning streak among total viewers to 50 weeks. it's longest run at number one in more than 21 years. once you fall to second place, it's really hard to get back up, right? >> well, these changes in morning television are glacial. once they turn, they sometimes stay turned for a long time. that's got to be her first job. multimillion dollars, as you've written, are on the line between being first and being second. these are a huge profit center, they are largely female audiences and they misjudged, as you wrote so well, how the largely female audience would react to ann curry seeming to be pushed aside. they did the same thing 20 years earlier with jane pauley seemingly pushed aside and this is a really big issue that she's going to have to deal with right away. >> paul, it's worth pointing out these network news shows still command a big audience versus cable news and that's why we care about them, right? >> that's right. it's the tallest building in wat wichita these days. everybody is losing audience. they are going to maybe 5,0
